Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

As Ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ we all have the commision of the Lord, and the ministry of reconcilliation, however within our callings there are annointed offices or vocations of service that the Lord gives each of us. The focus is not on the "natural" in these callings, it's all about the unction of the Holy Spirit which gives us the ability and power to operate that we may (Edify the body of Chrits) Just some thoughts...

Having a prophetic gifting is not running around (foretelling) future events or off the wall messages that are in error. One who walks in the unction of a prophet withing the vocation of ministry is one who many times is very "bottom line" in their spiritual personality if you will, and is there to affirm... IT IS WRITTEN. They are much like John the Baptist making way for the Lord. Doctrine Reproof and Correction.

Apostles, are body builders.(Not Arnold) God gives them a vision for a ministry, a church, a body of Gods moving, then in giving them the unction (prompting of the Holy Spirit) he then gives them the wisdom, endurance, and favor to build. (Does this remind you of anyone we know?)

Would love to expound more, but I actually have to go do some musical service to the body of Christ, right now. More later if anybdoy wishes. God bless!
